Ron Howard眼中的美国三十年代的大萧条，人们的贫困、绝望，比Seabiscuit更加透彻、更加触目惊心。故事引人入胜，从头到尾，紧紧抓住观众，整整2个小时24分钟，一点儿都不感到乏味。虽然和Rocky一样也是讲述以弱胜强的故事，但这部影片更多表现的是人在逆境中如何面对，如何实现曾经的承诺,如何不怨天忧人，如何荣辱不惊，如何永不放弃，如何互相支持。。。让我们在看片同时不断思索什么是家庭？什么是成功？什么是生活？什么是尊严？。。。当Jim即将面对声称要在拳台上杀死他的拳王Max前夕，他的老板一再警告他三思而行，并不断给他看被当场打死的拳击录像时，Jim问道“你知道纽约昨天晚上有多少人为了生活、为了家人而不幸死去？我很幸运，拳击就是我的职业，我会为了家人、为了生活做任何一切。这一点，你们这些人永远不懂！”精辟！
Russell Crowe，不得不说，真正奥斯卡影帝，名不虚传。继在‘美丽心灵’中成功演绎数学家John Nash后，再次展示精采演技。‘角斗士’中的硬汉，‘美丽心灵’中困惑挣扎的数学家，这一次，他将一个拳手、父亲、丈夫、朋友。。更重要－－－男人的形象表演的栩栩如生。他那面对儿子承诺时的坚定语气，他那面对朋友乞讨时的尴尬眼神，他那面对大碗牛肉的饥不责食，他那面对拳击对手的凶狠重击的微笑。。。绝对的奥斯卡影帝水准的精采表演。
as close to trashes as they can be. No offense to all the die-hard fans. I almost quit watching any movie in theaters a long time ago. All the extras are good for movie industry, but without a good story line, movies will not survive.
I also agree with some of the people here. I really hate watching those "made-for-Oscar" movies. "Beautiful mind" is one of the worst jokes in Oscar history. To me, Russell Crowe's best per????ance was in "LA Confidential". He should have won Oscar for that role rather than his role as John Nash.
As for recent moview, "Closer" is one of the best. I couldn't believe it did not get any award in Oscar. One side note, I just watched Amadeus last weekend on DVD. It is far superior than any of the recent trashes. You should be able to enjoy it.
Of course, my all time favorite: Dogville. Cannot say enough about this masterpiece.

Like I said before, besides, high-tech, CAD effect, human imagination and feelings can not be replaced. I was disappointed by the flat fighting, and the dialogue inside the movie is like high school teenagers talking in a park.

But III is fine.
People like star war for a dream.. it was the dream they had 30 years ago and now they get to see it again.
Just like you see so many people in their 50s-60s love the colorful VW beetles, since that car was their dream 40 years ago. :) You cannot understand them but please don't criticize them.
2. Cinderella man is just another movie that got all the famous director and famous actors/actress to gain attention of Oscar mah. I'd say it is a good movie and I am impressed, plus Russel is one of my favorites, but just like "cast away" from Tom Hankes, and "Ray", we knew from beginning that it is targetted for Oscar, and somehow I am a bit sick of this kind of movie.
3. I love star war. Solute to Mr Lucas!!!
让wo们去跟风凑热闹挤着观赏这每年层出不穷的好莱坞‘高科技’、‘大成本’垃圾吧，让wo们在那些可笑滑稽的‘激光剑’的碰撞声中陶醉吧。。。

千万别在我面前提”星球大战“，难看死了。马的，越来越差。
最近刚刚复习了“Rocky",昨晚36有拳王阿力。还有不久前的'million dollar baby“。
NEW YORK - The actor
Russell Crowe was arrested Monday morning for allegedly throwing a telephone at an employee of the Manhattan hotel where he was staying, police said.
Crowe, 41, who plays a boxer in his latest film "Cinderella Man," allegedly threw the phone at the Mercer Hotel employee, striking him in the face, during an argument at around 4:20 a.m., said police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wysokowski.
The Australian movie star was arrested and charged by police with second degree assault, Wysokowski said. Crowe was expected to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court later on Monday.
An employee who answered the phone at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo said he was unaware of the incident.
Crowe won the Academy Award for best actor for "Gladiator" in 2001
